WASHINGTON (SBG) —

In the hours after a Washington Post report detailed numerous allegations of sexual misconduct by Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, lawmakers in the body he seeks to join spoke out against the Republican.

Should the accusations prove true, Moore should immediately back out of the race, some GOP senators said.

The report illustrates allegations from multiple women -- most notably Leigh Corfman, an Alabama native -- who say Moore pursued them as young teenagers. At the time, he himself was in his thirties, according to the report.

Moore, now 70, has denied all wrongdoing; even going so far as to belittle the article, calling it "the very definition of fake news and intentional defamation."

His fellow Republicans in the Senate have failed to take the accusations so lightly.

"The allegations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore are deeply troubling," said Colorado Sen. Chairman Cory Gardner, who leads the Senate GOP campaign arm. "If these allegations are found to be true, Roy Moore must drop out of the Alabama special Senate election."
